Never look beyond the façade.

Who wants to hear that Ward Cleever's company has been
secretly dumping PCBs into Lake Mapleton for years? That he hurries home from
the office every Friday night, dons his robes and hurries off to the local Klan
meeting?
No one wants to see June cake on the makeup to hide her
bruises after downing a Seconal, a phenobarbital and a Darvon just to get
through the cocktail party.
Not even Ward and June want to know what that smell is
that's emanating from the basement or exactly what Wally and Eddie are doing
down there.
The Beaver's grades have fallen off and he hates to be
touched but at least the kindly parish priest has taken a serious interest in
him and one doesn't like to pry.
That illustration couldn't be more perfect. Thank you for sharing this, Dan. You inspire me.
